A moderately strong M6.5 solar flare erupted from Active Region 3576 at 03:48 UTC on February 12, 2024. The event started at 03:23 and ended at 03:53 UTC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were no radio signatures detected that would suggest a coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced.<\/p>\n

Radio frequencies were forecast to be most degraded over SE Asia and Australia at the time of the flare.<\/p>\n

The event follows M9.0 at 23:07 UTC on February 10, also from AR 3576. While today\u2019s flare might not have produced CME, the February 10th<\/sup> M9.0 appeared to produce two of them.<\/p>\n

The first was a full halo that could be fully seen at 00:00 UTC on February 11. A slower, narrow CME appeared at the same time with the bulk of the ejecta off the NNE limb. GOES SUVI 304 imagery appears to show the presence of the two CMEs and modeling indicated a likely arrival early on February 13.<\/p>\n
